Before becoming forever cult thanks to Morning Live, Michaël Youn hosted for 2 years, between 1998 and 2000, Skyrock’s morning newspaper with Les Filles, KTL and Sophie Gaillard. And one of his memorable guests was Bernard Tapie, whom he managed to piss off at the very first question. In his book, Stéphane Tapie, the son of the late businessman tells behind the scenes of this huge clash.
“You did eight months in prison, it’s not for nothing…“
In “How to say goodbye to you”, the son of Bernard Tapie first recalls about his dad’s interviewer: “Michaël Youn is the delirious kind. He makes fun of his first hood of ambient conformism and he is always ready to transform a show into a happening“. And when Bernard Tapie came on the set of Skyrock, it did not miss.
Michaël Youn would then have “rubbed hands” before daring to say to the boss: “You did eight months in prison, it’s not for nothing…“What seriously weigh down the atmosphere. And that’s what happens that day. Stéphane Tapie reports: “Tapie tore off his helmet and stood up, very angry.. Michaël Youn will join him behind the scenes, in the station manager’s office, to talk.

“He finds Tapie beside himself and he understands that he has gone too far. Sorry for the turn of events, he offers to forget this question and re-record the show”, says the son. And the father would not have taken off at all. “No, we’re not going to record anything at all. What I’m going to do is kick your ass!” would he have said to Michaël Youn, before putting him “just a little slap“.
A lesson that the troublemaker of the paf has never forgotten. Subsequently, he multiplied the too much gags every morning on M6 throughout the Morning Live. A post which then offered him a career in the cinema.
“Bernard Tapie who just slapped me“
About this incident, he gave his version of the facts in 2020, to Konbini: “I welcome him to the show, there is a listener who asks him the question about this famous match-fixing story and he does not want to answer. I say to him: ‘Bernard, listener or not, if you have done any prison is not for nothing “. And there, boo! He swung his helmet. “What is this show? I come as a friend, it’s a trap! you ?’ And bam!’ I arrive in the office of the director of production and I say to him: ‘There is Bernard Tapie who has just slapped me.’ The guy tells me to apologize to him…“
